Nano platinum coated titanium (NPCT) electrodes were developed using electrodeposition assisted hydrothermal method for application as electrodes in reprocessing plant under severe corrosive environment. After synthesis, the morphology of the NPCT electrode surface was characterized using Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The phase and chemical state of the modified electrode was investigated using X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) respectively. The enhanced electrochemical activity of NPCT electrode was established by conducting hydrogen adsorption-desorption study and electrochemical oxygen reduction studies. The performance of the electrode was investigated by employing it as anode in cerium oxidation under an applied current of 0.1 A in 11.5 M nitric acid. Post performance analysis reveals the stability of the synthesized electrode. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
